Today on The Modern Homeschool Podcast, let’s chat about goals for moms! How do you incorporate time for yourself and your goals while mothering and homeschooling? Well, good news, there are ways. Listen in for all of my thoughts on this subject I’ve been living through the past 15 years.
Ideas for Cultivating Goals:
Carve out an hour a day: Start with an hour a day for yourself. Workout, read, journal, get.a coffee. The hour you give yourself can be the beginning of reaching your goals.
Wake up early: If you have no other time in the day or if you are a busy mom of young children, you may have to get up early and go to bed early. Prioritize sleep and don’t burn the candle at both ends by staying up too late. Get up and claim your quiet time for your goals.
Listen to Podcasts/Youtube: While you walk or do dishes or whatever you do during the day, double time your effort by listening to a podcast or youtube video about something you are interested in. This can be a great source of extra education and fitting in moving the needle toward your goals.
Prioritize health: We are nothing without our health so prioritize sleep, eating well and working out. Your future self will thank you.
Create goals: Either yearly or quarterly and track them and refine them.
Be aware of seasons: Sometimes you feel stuck in a season of your life. But most times we are really just in a short season that we may even miss when it is over. Allow yourself slow and fast times in life realizing that some seasons last longer than others and all seasons teach us.
Practice gratitude: Reset your day by naming three things you are thankful for and watch your day completely shift.
Allow yourself to change: It is quite probable that you will evolve many times over as you age. Understand that change is okay and allow yourself to become who you were meant to be. Often, we have to change to reach our goals.
Never give up: Never, ever give up because you are most likely closer to your goals than you think.

Did you know that homeschooling is currently the fastest growing form of education?
With nearly five million homeschoolers in America today, I hope that my listeners will gain inspiration, research and new ways to implement education with their children in natural and intentional ways. I want to offer solutions to the many challenging problems our youth faces today. I want to unify home educators and parents from around the world.
